COMEDY MC
Total command of the room. Without taking it over.
There's a specific skill to hosting a wedding reception — different from a corporate gig, different from a stand-up set, different from anything else. You need to be funny without being a comedian. Warm without being a pushover. Sharp enough to fill an awkward silence and smart enough to know when to get out of the way.
Jay has spent over 20 years honing exactly that. His award-winning MC style is conversational, quick-witted and completely tailored to the couple — which means every announcement, every transition and every bit of crowd work feels like it belongs to your wedding, not a generic reception package. Guests feel included, not performed at. The room stays warm, connected and moving from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out.
- Professional reception hosting from canapes to last dance
- Confident, polished introductions and announcements
- Seamless management of speeches, formalities and surprises
- Genuine crowd engagement — the kind guests actually enjoy
- Reads the room in real time and adjusts energy accordingly
RUN SHEET & COORDINATION
Your perfect timeline, built with you.
Great receptions don't happen by accident. Jay works with you before the day to build a run sheet that flows beautifully — then executes it on the night so you don't have to think about a single thing.
Pre-Wedding Planning
Detailed planning meetings to map out every moment of your reception — entrances, speeches, first dance, cake, formalities and dancefloor. Nothing is left to chance.
Timing Precision
Jay keeps the evening moving at exactly the right pace — no dead air, no rushed moments, no speeches starting 40 minutes late because nobody told the kitchen.
Supplier Liaison
Jay coordinates with your photographer, venue and caterer throughout the evening so everyone is on the same page and you're never stuck in the middle of a disagreement between vendors.
On-the-Night Flexibility
Plans change. Speeches run long. Someone wants to do an impromptu toast. Jay adapts on the fly without breaking stride — and without making it look like anything was ever off-script.
"The best compliment I get is when couples tell me the night just flowed — like it all happened by magic. That's not magic. That's a very good run sheet and someone who knows how to use it."
THE MUSIC
Your taste. His 20 years. One dancefloor that doesn't empty.
A great wedding playlist isn't just a Spotify queue on shuffle. It's a carefully shaped journey — one that takes a room from emotional during the first dance to absolutely losing it at 10pm, with every transition feeling completely natural. Jay has spent over two decades mastering exactly that arc.
Before your wedding, Jay sits with you and builds the playlist around your actual taste in music — the artists you love, the tracks that mean something, the era you grew up in. He then layers 20+ years of reading wedding crowds on top of that foundation, mixing live on the night to match the energy in the room rather than sticking rigidly to a pre-loaded set. The result is a dancefloor that fills up and stays full.
- Fully customised playlist built around your music preferences
- Live mixing and real-time crowd reading
- Any genre, any era — from Sinatra to Kendrick Lamar
- First dance, last dance and every dance in between
- Professional sound system included — no venue speaker roulette
TURN IT UP A GEAR
Add-Ons That Make the Night Unforgettable.
Want to take things further? These extras are available through Jay and his team at Wedding Sounds — just ask when you enquire.
DJ Sax
Live saxophone woven over the DJ set for cocktail hour or the dancefloor. The moment the sax kicks in, the whole room lifts. It sounds exactly as electric as it sounds — and it works on absolutely everyone, even the people who swore they were just watching.
Foam RGB Glow Sticks
LED foam glow sticks distributed to guests for the dancefloor — synced to the music, colour-changing and genuinely spectacular on the night. A simple addition that transforms your photos and makes the whole room feel like a festival. All ages love them.
Photobooth
Instant print photobooth with digital sharing, unlimited prints and a prop collection that brings out the personality in every guest. A crowd favourite from the moment it opens — and a brilliant way to keep people entertained during dinner or cocktail hour.
Audio Guest Book
A retro telephone your guests pick up and leave a voice message — heartfelt, ridiculous or somewhere in between. You receive a final audio file of every message after the wedding. The kind of keepsake that will still make you laugh (and cry) in twenty years.
All add-ons are available through Jay's team at Wedding Sounds. Mention them when you enquire and Jay will put together a package that covers everything in one place.
